Action item review
---------------------
Just the updates on Austin/240r1 are noted here.
ACTION AI-2005-01-09 Andrew Josey & Mats Wichmann to propose a time and place
for a joint Austin group/LSB Workgroup meeting to consider LSB/POSIX
conflicts, to be held as soon as conveniently possible.
Status: OPEN
LSB 3.0 is done.
The ISO ballot resolution was held in Singapore last week,
and all comments were reviewed, and the comments that led
to the no votes were addressed to turn the three no votes
to yes votes. An updated draft is being prepared. Likely
to be a LSB 3.1 document, the number is just to correspond
to other document changes, and there is minimal normative
change between LSB 3.0 and LSB 3.1 (primarily corrections)
Andrew has also released an update to the Technical Report. As soon
as the final version of the LSB document is submitted to ISO,
a new draft of the TR can then be sent to ballot as an FCD TR.
We do not anticipate any further changes to the conflicts document.
Nick still has an action to prepare an agenda for a teleconference.
ACTION: Andrew Do final review pass on the Technical Report document
when the ISO LSB has been submitted, probably the next change is to
change LSB 3.0 to IS 23360-200x.
ACTION AI-2005-01-06: AJ to contact Jack McCann at HP for views on
getnameinfo document, and for any other networking issues that may
concern us.
Status:CLOSED.
Sebastien Roy at Sun has volunteered to act as a liaison
on IETF activities.
Defect Report Processing
-------------------------
The group picked up on the latest batch of defect reports,
which are available at the following URL:
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/latest/
XSH ERN 89 setpgrp OPEN
ACTION: Andrew will ping the requestor
XSH C99 TC2 maths related ERNs
Andrew needs to sync with Geoff re:the discussion on the mailing
list to ensure that the aardvark dispositions are still correct.
XSH ERN 102 connect and sendto OPEN
The results are undefined if you attempt to do this.
This is rather than specifying it one way or the other.
We need to close on some appropriate wording to capture.
Action: Nick/Sebastien will take an action to propose some wording.
XSH ERN 105 isblank SEE ALSO Accept as marked below
Add isblank() to every function listed in the SEE ALSO list
for isblank()
XSH ERN 106 makecontext Accept as marked below
Add at the end of line 24475:
The application shall ensure that at any time the uc_link pointer is used,
it shall be null or shall point to a structure that has been initialized
by a prior call to getcontext(), makecontext(), or swapcontext().
XCU ERN 74 ex quote web rendition Accept
XCU ERN 75 ex quote web rendition Accept
XCU ERN 76 c99 Reject
Not in scope for the POSIX standard to override the C standard.
This is a problem that should be addressed to the ISO C committee.
(Nick says he will bring it to their attention at the next
meeting)
Next Steps
-----------
Andrew will update the aardvark reports with the latest inbound
defect reports.
The next call is Thursday September 22 2005
